A three star resort by the sea on Aliyirakkam Chilakkoor Rd, with a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 192 reviews. The one thing that decides whether it suits you is the cliff at Varkala: it is the reason people come, and the reason the path can close when the weather turns.
What True Blue Beach Resort Trivandrum offers
True Blue Beach Resort Trivandrum holds a three star rating and a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 192 reviews. It lists room service, parking and family rooms, with WiFi and a restaurant. Massage is available, and a shuttle service runs from the property. For a coast break, the restaurant, WiFi and shuttle cover the basics, while family rooms and parking suit those travelling by car. Massage is the extra most guests notice, and room service keeps meals simple if you would rather not go out.
Where the resort sits
The property stands on the coast, by the sea, in Varkala, a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. It is 1.8 km from the centre of Varkala, about 20 minutes on foot. The destination is the coast, at 0 to 45 m. The cliff is a red laterite wall standing straight out of the Arabian Sea, with a temple town and a pilgrimage tank at the bottom of it, the only cliff on this coast and geologically the reason the beach exists.
Who the resort suits
It suits travellers who want the sea within reach, a restaurant on site and a shuttle for the gaps, and families who need room to spread out. It does not suit anyone expecting a quiet cliff edge: Varkala is a tourism hub, so the town and the centre carry the noise of one. With a three star rating, the fit is for those who want the location more than polished extras.
Planning a stay
Come between November and March. That is the season here, and it avoids the wet months, when cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path. In the drier months the cliff path is the main walk, with the sea two hundred metres below you the whole way. Trains from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam stop in town, so no car is needed. Papanasam beach below the cliff is a pilgrimage site as well as a swimming beach, so dress accordingly.
